Been on a fun little kick playing the Sniper Elite series and the Wolfenstein series and want some suggestions for what can replace it once I run out of campaign missions to do in those games.
While I would love to replay the campaign missions of COD, I ain’t paying like $30-60 for a two decade plus old game from EA. While I do prefer shooting nazi nazis, I don’t mind suggestions that have you shooting fascists in general.
Not interested in debating politics, just wanna shoot nazis.
Kind of a problem how nazis in WW2 games are quite different from the wannabe-fascists and fascists of today. You mostly kill drafted soldiers in those games, and if you think about it too much, those are probably the people who least deserve their gruesome deaths.
Makes it not work for me as a safety valve.
A bunch of devotees to fanatical idiots leading a cult…Far Cry 5 might scratch that itch since it’s mostly white dudes in militia garb trying to “purify” everything
Fallout 2, Fallout 3, and Fallout NV the Nazis may have a different coat of paint but a fascist is a fascist regardless of what face they wear. Weirdly doesn’t apply to Fallout 1 since I think Unity would fall under weird form of Authoritarian Transhuman Collectivism, fuck I’ve started talking theory. In summary kill Enclave and Blòt the Romaboo larpers!
Is it bad that the Enclave is my second favorite faction besides the NCR?
The enclave as a concept of just fascinating. That is another one of my alt-hist (and occasionally irl too) fascinations, is old-government remnants and what do they do? FEDRA in The Last of Us is another one, technically the last remnant of the old USA order, but functionally has degenerated into just another authoritarian faction in the apocalypse. Arguably the Brotherhood of Steel counts too, remnant of the old world US military.
As for IRL, Taiwan is a remnant of the old chinese government before the communists took the mainland, and Belarus actually has 3 governments right now – the one currently in power , functionally a puppet to Putin/Russia, the transitional government formed abroad in 2022 hoping to replace the puppet government once given the chance, and hosted in Ottawa for over 100 YEARS is the original exiled government of Belarus from the Communist revolution in the 1910s.
Also I think there’s still some fun and explore with them, namely with a good/ morally dubious variant. In every game we’ve seen them in it’s quite obvious that the base level personnel have no clue what the Enclave is actually doing, so have fun with that make a faction of these base level guys who survived while the higher ups died make it the battle of Adams AFB from fallout 3. It’d be fun to see them being minutemen like or something because they legit believe in the ideals of Americans without any of the bad because they weren’t poisoned enough by propaganda and exposure to the wasteland helped them chill out.
But yeah they are also a really fun exploration of a remnant government still kicking around. Some other ones for you to look up would be Mount Athos and the empire of Trebizond, both were Eastern Roman remnants with Mount Athos technically still existing.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein with RealRTCW mod.
Boy, back in early 2000s there some many choices, Medal of Honor, og Call of Duty, Wolfenstein, WWII series, History Channel games…
I believe in the Metro (Metro /series you at some point fight/kill some Nazis. They aren’t the main enemy but there is a faction of them for you to kill.
I would recommend just brutally murdering your way through the rainbow of right wing nutjobs in MANHUNT. It does have guns, but ammo is sparse, it’s not a shooter, at first.
Medal of Honor Allied Assault, Call of Duty series
Indiana Jones, you hit them over the head with a spade and somehow this made me flinch more than mowing 200 of them down
Got immense satisfaction playing this game last year for exactly this reason
I’m amazed we got that game properly told as is tbh given how maga fee-fees probably got hurt over it.
I mean, who the hell else is Indy gonna fight?Punching fascists is his whole thing other than finding stuff
That is an absolutely terrible vantage point. Totally exposed to fire. If you’re gonna fight Nazis, don’t give them an easy shot.
seriously, only one side is blocked and if the sun is the wrong angle dude casts an obvious shadow.
Every ww2 game ever made?
Just pirate call of duty 2
i am not sure there are any politics to debate , killing nazis is good.
you could try the old.medal of honor or, for a good story but also old- brothers in arms.
Oh, there would be debate from reddit admins on that one.
Reddit admins would debate shooting videogame Nazis? Wtf? Things going on in GTA aren’t the same?
GTA 7 should be a time traveler, stealing Panzerkraftwagen IV and shoot Nazis.
Man I love how dumb German sounds when you translate it. Tankpowerwagon sounds so much less intimidating.
The Saboteur is basically GTA in Nazi occupied Paris…
they usually ban people for even mentioning violence or even INSINUATING IT/inneuendos.
Collected my two permabans for that exact reason.
Hard agree, but there are oftentimes apologists who are summoned from these posts or the people who make the argument that idolizing violence against anyone is abhorrent (nazis have families too!! etc etc), which to an extent I can agree with. However I have two history degrees which has given me insight on many topics, one being that non-violent resistance to true tyranny is a borderline myth. I subscribe to the paradox of tolerance .
Good news is fediverse has zero tolerance for that bullshit.
I’m proud to say that Lemmy largely does not subscribe to the modern media “all violence is bad” mentality. Everyone with a functional brain knows that’s bullshit. Even the people who supposedly agree with that idea support the police’s use of violence sometimes. The monopoly of violence by the state is just a useful thing they push to keep people in line, and it’s mostly not a thing here.
i am not sure there are any politics to debate , killing nazis is good.
Yeah but it has to be in the context of videogames, or it’s “iNciTiNG viOLeNcE” or some shit.
Bloodrayne. Hot sexy vampire chick that slices up Nazi scum with arm blades? Teenaged me thought that was THE SHIT.
I got a copy of the second one for the OG Xbox when i bought some guys old console to have something to play Halo CE and Halo 2 on native hardware. I’ve been wanting to get into it for a long while ever since
Even by the standards of the time, it’s not very good. If you already have it, then try it. Otherwise, it’s cheap on GoG and I would still wait for a sale.
Is that one with the bouncy boobs cheat code?
I think the first one actually had a topless cheat code
Just finished this:
https://www.gog.com/en/game/saboteur
It’s straight up killing Nazis for about 30 hours of fun SP campaign. You play as a french resistance fighter in paris during WWII. Race cars, make wildly inappropriate innuendos, kill Nazi, rinse and repeat. Has an interesting wanted level mechanic and a stealth system with disguises. Had a few weird bugs but nothing game breaking. 8.5 / 10.
Also the last game of the legendary Pandemic Studios. It would really deserve a sequel or even a remaster.
Currently playing this, tons of fun… basically GTA with nazis and machine gun blimps. Oh and you can climb buildings, too!
I recently played through this, somehow I had never heard of it. Some parts didn’t age great but overall a very fun game. Lots of nazi killing.
not interested in debating politics. Just want to shoot Nazis
That made me cry a little. So beautiful.
